Starfield - Loot Different Containers to Complete the Challenge
To progress the Scavenging Rank Up Challenge, you must loot at least one item from different containers. Stealing items from containers will also count towards completing the challenge.

Looting from Ammo Cases, First Aid containers, or the Contraband Caches in Security HQs will progress the challenge, but Weapon Cases or Helmet Displays will not.

If you ever encounter an empty container you have not looted yet, you can transfer an item you own into the container and loot it to progress the challenge.

Looting from containers you place on your Outposts will not progress the challenge.

Allocate the Security Skill to Access More Containers

Starfield - Allocate the Security Skill for More Access to Containers
Some containers must be digipicked, and that's when the Security Skill will be handy to complete this skill's challenge. The Security skill will allow you to not only open locked containers but access locked rooms that may have more containers to loot from.
